IT looks as though the BBC has stumbled upon a cost-cutting secret weapon-radio.
For having yanked the popular Dr Who series off our television screens, allegedly on economy grounds, it now plans to run a Dr Who adventure on radio in July and August.
This certainly has cost-cutting potential.
The listener's own imagination will do, for free, work normally done at great expense by divisions of the Beeb's huge army of scene-shifters and special effects artists.
And, apart from Colin Baker, who plays the doctor, and Nicola Bryant, who plays assistant Peri, do you really need actors in the supporting roles?
Director-General Alasdair Milne could weigh in with some funny voices.
The lines would take no learning. As a good BBC man he need only think of the licence payers' money and they'll come to him instinctively: "Exterminate. Exterminate."
